For all the competitive spirit on display, the Lyme Warrior 5K has never really been about the clock.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. — There were no podium lights, no stadium crowds, no million-dollar prize purses. Just sneakers on asphalt, a chorus of heavy breathing, and a whole lot of heart. On the morning of Saturday, May 23, Garvin Park played host to the Evansville leg of the Lyme Warrior 5K — a grassro...

For a VFW post that depends on community trust and small-dollar donations to support its members, having that trust poisoned by fraud is not a reputational abstraction — it is a direct hit to the resources that help struggling veterans pay their bills.

The flier is irresistible, almost by design. A 5K run through the fall foliage. A finisher’s medal. A T-shirt. And, printed in cheerful letters near the bottom: “Proceeds benefit our local veterans.” For thousands of recreational runners every year, that last line is the deciding factor — th...

Sixteen local runners from Evansville, Newburgh, Owensboro, Washington and Mount Vernon toed the line a few miles west of Boston, each having qualified for the world's oldest annual marathon through months or years of training, early mornings, long runs, and the particular stubbornness required to voluntarily run 26.2 miles.

BOSTON, April 20, 2026 — While John Korir was busy obliterating course records and Sharon Lokedi was borrowing a watch and winning anyway, fifteen runners from Evansville, Newburgh, Mount Vernon, and Washington, Indiana & Owensboro, Kentucky were doing what Boston Marathon runners have done for 13...

A hidden network of insurance perks, employer benefits, and tax-advantaged accounts could help Hoosier runners shave real money off their race costs — if they know where to look.

Race fees have crept up. A local 5K that used to cost $25 now often runs $35 to $50. Sign up for a half marathon and you might fork over $80 or more — sometimes before you’ve even laced up a training shoe. For the millions of runners across Indiana and Kentucky who treat weekend …

Families, volunteers, corporate sponsors and first responders tur...

Somewhere in America right now, a recreational runner is lacing up their shoes at 6 a.m. not because they love the dawn air or their physical therapist told them to, but because they have $50 riding on whether they can log 20 miles on Strava before Sunday.

Somewhere in America right now, a recreational runner is lacing up their shoes at 6 a.m. not because they love the dawn air or their physical therapist told them to, but because they have $50 riding on whether they can log 20 miles on Strava before Sunday. Their friends are watching. The blockchain....

There are finish-line bananas. There are finish-line bagels. There are finish-line energy gels of indeterminate flavor that taste, generously speaking, like sweetened regret. And then there is the Cookie Plug Race, where every finisher crosses the tape and is handed a fresh-baked cookie.
